Griess Nockerl Suppe Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Beat eggs and melted butter, stir in semolina, season with salt & pepper & nutmeg to taste. I like to use fresh grated nutmeg & fresh grated pepper corns. Mix well and let stand for 10 minutes.
• 2. With the help of a soup spoon form small ovals and drop them in the boiling veggie broth. As the Nockerl will expand do not put to many of them in at once...as I did before and ended up with a "loaf" of Nockerl):
• 3. Boil for 10 to 15 minutes or until the Nockerl rise to the top. Serve with a bit of green on top!

Steps:

• In a large pot, bring the stock to a rapid boil.
• Combine the farina, nutmeg, eggs, butter and salt in a large bowl and set aside for 1-2 minutes.
• Scoop up small spoonfuls of the batter and scrape them into the boiling stock.
• Stir occasionally to prevent the dumplings from sticking; they will float when they are done!
• NOTE: If your dumplings disintegrate when they hit the water, ensure that your stock is rapidly boiling; also, "pack" your batter together a bit before dunking it, and/or add another tablespoon or two of farina to your batter -- it may be too moist (again, allow the batter to rest 1-2 minutes before continuing).

Steps:

• Beat the eggs and melted butter until foamy, stir in the semolina, season with salt, pepper and freshly grated nutmeg to taste. Mix well and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Form oval quenelles with the aid of 2 teaspoons, drop them into boiling water, don't overcrowd the pot, they will plump up.
• Cook for 10 - 15 minutes or until they rise to the surface.
• Remove from the heat, add one cup of cold water to the pot and let stand for another 10 minutes, by now they should have doubled in bulk.
• Drain and serve in broth, sprinkled with chives and grated nutmeg.
• Note: I always make one extra dumpling that can be cut open to check for doneness. If the sample dumpling is not soft inside, leave them a little longer. It should be soft but not mushy.
